Updating banshee from 0.12.0 to 0.12.1, iPod support disappears. I have the necessary dependencies for the ipod USE flag: $ eix -cI ipod-sharp [I] dev-dotnet/ipod-sharp (0.6.2@05/06/2007): ipod-sharp provides high-level feature support for Apple's iPod and binds libipoddevice. $ eix -cI gst-plugins-faac [I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-faac (0.10.4(0.10)@05/06/2007): plugin for gstreamer I have the ipod USE flag set: emerge -p banshee These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ..... ..... ..... ..... .... done! [ebuild R ] media-sound/banshee-0.12.1 USE="aac daap encode flac ipod mad vorbis -boo -debug -doc -njb" 0 kB But when building, I get this during configure: checking for GTKSHARP... yes checking for SQLITE... yes checking for IPODSHARP... checking for NJBSHARP... no So something is wrong with the check for ipod-sharp. I don't see an upstream bug related to this, but there are a lot of open banshee bugs ;-) so I may have missed one.

I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, but banshee 0.12.1 in fact requires ipod-sharp 0.6.3 (see http://banshee-project.org/Releases/0.12.1). The dependency in the ebuild should probably be updated.
(In reply to comment #1) > I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, but banshee 0.12.1 in fact > requires ipod-sharp 0.6.3 Thanks for pointing that out. I've filed bugs for updating ipod-sharp and libipoddevice to match this version of Banshee.
could you please add a 0.11 ebuild of banshee again while ipod-sharp and libipoddevice does not meet the requirement of banshee 0.12?
Fixed it for my 3G ipod with the attached version bumped ebuilds from #178812 and #178814 , and recompiling banshee after updating both. ^_^
i bumped ipod-sharp and libipoddevice and changed banshee dependency to match those new bumps so we can avoid this problem. Thanks everyone and sorry for the long time i've been away.
